Gas Line Repair & Leak Detection in Houston, TX

A gas leak is one of the few home problems that’s genuinely dangerous — and one that needs to be addressed by a licensed professional, not deferred. If you smell gas, hear hissing near a line, or got tagged by the gas company, we can help.

If you smell gas right now

Stop reading. Leave the building. Don’t flip light switches. Don’t use phones inside. From a safe distance:

1. Call your gas utility (they’ll shut off your meter)
2. Call 911 if the smell is strong
3. Call us for repair coordination

Only after the leak is repaired and the system is pressure tested should service be restored.

Why pressure testing matters

A gas line that “smells okay” can still have a slow leak. Pressure testing is the only way to verify a system is leak-free. We pressurize, monitor, and document — the same procedure used for new installs and required for real estate transactions in many cases.

Common repair scenarios

• Real estate inspection failures — buyer’s inspector flagged a leak. We find it, fix it, and certify.
• Insurance-mandated repairs — insurer requires gas line certification. We test and document.
• Landscaping damage — buried lines hit during digging. We repair to code and re-bury.
• Aging galvanized lines — old galvanized gas lines corrode internally. We replace sections or full runs.
• CSST bonding upgrades — early CSST installs may lack proper lightning bonding. We bring them current.
• Red-tagged meters — gas company shut off service for unsafe condition. We restore to compliance.
